Add another person to a tuition account

How to add another person, such as a parent, to a student’s tuition account. This person is considered an “Authorized Payer.” Authorized Payers have access to view a student’s tuition account and also have the option to pay a student’s tuition bill.

Set a unique username for your Authorized Payer. The username/Authorized Payer will be unique to tuition payments. For example, you will need a different Authorized Payer username to pay for housing. If you receive an error message that reads “Parent PIN already exists”, the username is already in use at UW-Madison and you must select a different Authorized Payer username.

The email address should be the Authorized Payer’s email.

You may set up multiple Authorized Payers if necessary: just repeat this Authorized Payer setup process.

Then what?

The Authorized Payer will receive an email containing their login name, a temporary password, and a link to the Tuition eBill/ePayment website.

Login using the temporary password. The site will prompt you to change your password.

Create a security question. If a security questions is not created, the student will have to reset the password for the authorized payer (if needed).
